Nothing official yet that I have seen, but it is looking more and more like this may have some truth to it. It all makes me wonder if/how they would try to bring this to the fort. Unlike the other resorts, it would raise some challenges for the campsites,...

I recently compiled a Spotify playlist containing many of the tunes heard playing through the speakers at many of the public areas at the Fort. If you're like me, hearing these tunes transports me immediately to the Fort.

Permits filed and approved for boring core samples. I will have to check this out next week.

I haven't taken vacation for 2 weeks in a row in years. Probably the 90s when we would go to St Pete and stay in my parent's condos. By September, the big projects at work will be done and I'm going to take some time back. I just booked a Premium site for the Tuesday...

We now own a 2013 Chevy 3500 Dually. We get 20-21 MPG on the highway, and 16 locally. Haven't towed trailer any distance, so will know after our Feb trip what we are getting there.
Only modification to the truck so far is the addition of a fumoto valve, for oil changes.View attachment 151482]]>1028Fort Meet-and-GreetsMon, 19 Mar 2018 01:30:19 +0000https://www.disboards.com/threads/fort-meet-and-greets.3671197/

How are they able to do it?

What do CMs say when a guest informs them of the issue?

Do they tend to pool crash more on weekends, or any day that school isn't in session?

I'm just curious. In the very early stages of planning, and getting as much info as I can.]]>20RV rental for twoSun, 18 Mar 2018 15:45:52 +0000https://www.disboards.com/threads/rv-rental-for-two.3670734/

For the entire first week we were there, there was no hot water in the ladies room and all of us had to take cold showers. The men's showers were fine, according my husband and son.

Many of us called the front office about it, only to find the same thing again the next day. It was only finally fixed when I asked a cleaning lady about it...
